However, where you provide personal information about yourself, then by providing such information you signify your consent to our collecting and using your personal information in accordance with that service.

When you provide us with your feedback on our Reviews page, your feedback may be published unless you ask us not to. We will normally only include your name and general location as author. However, if your location and name may be sufficient to identify you (for example because your name is unusual and / or you live in a small village), then we will take care to anonymise your details.

All personal information you provide to us will not be given to third parties unless we have your permission or are required by law.

Retention of your data

We will only hold your information for as long as is necessary. This means that we will review your data to decide whether it is appropriate for us to continue to hold it.

If we did not enter into a contract for services with you, we will remove your data from our systems after 12 months, or sooner if you specifically ask us to.

If we did enter into a contract for services with you, we will retain your data for as long as we are providing that service and for a maximum period of six years following the end of our relationship with you.
